Podcast Game Jam

A Game Jam for Storytellers

  • Dates: 08 30 2024 - 

    Theme: Create games in the format of a podcast

    Description:

    For this unique game jam, participants are tasked with creating games that mimic the format of a podcast. This could be an interactive fiction game where the player listens to a story and makes choices that affect the outcome, or a visual novel that plays out like an audio drama.

    Categories:

    1. Interactive Fiction
    1. Visual Novels
    1. Audio Games
    1. Experimental Podcast-like Games

    Rules:

    • All games must be designed to be experienced like a podcast
    • The game must have a narrative component
    • The use of existing game engines and libraries is allowed
    • Teams of up to 3 members are allowed
    • No NSFW content or nudity or anything
    • I am sole creator of this jam and anything I find to be immoral I will remove.

    Prizes: I will play the top 5 games and will post them to my 8 subscribers.

    Judging Criteria:

    • How well the game captures the essence of a podcast
    • Storytelling
    • Pacing and structure
    • How fun is it to play (this a game after all)

    Submit your game:

    At the end of the game jam, submit your game to Itch for judging.

    Spread the word:

    Share the game jam with your friends and other creators. The more people we have, the more innovative games we'll see.
